*Target (protein/gene names):

Serine/Threonine Protein Phosphatase 5 (Trypanosoma brucei)
PDB: 1S95

*NCBI Gene # or RefSeq#:

3657550

*Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#:

Tb927.10.13670

*Organism:

T. brucei

Etiologic Risk Group (see link below):

Risk 2

*Background/Disease Information:
Trypanosoma brucei causes the parasitic disease African trypanomiasis. This disease can infect both humans and animals, and is characterized by fever and headaches, until the lymphatic and circulatory systems become affected. The disease then progresses rapidly and has a variety of manifestations including severely disrupted sleep cycles due to the parasite passing through the blood brain barrier, anemia, endocrine malfunctions, cardiac problems and kidney dysfunctions.

The disease begins in the midgut of the fly where it eventually makes its way to the salivary glands of the fly. The fly will then bite a mammalian host (Human, monkey, etc.) and spread the disease.
